        Fundamentals of Basal Stimulation® in Nursing

        The Basics

        by Christel Bienstein, Andreas Fröhlich

        Basal stimulation supports people in critical life situations, whose communi­cation and regulation skills are signif­cantly limited or permanently impaired. Perception, communication, and move­ment skills are central to this concept. Basal stimulation is a form of holistic, body­related communication for people with major limitations. The authors Bienstein and Fröhlich demonstrate how carers can address, enable, stimulate, touch and calm peo­ple through sensory provisions. They specifcally describe key elements of nursing with regard to breathing, bath­ing, rubs (ASE), full and partial washes, dressing, support, dental hygiene, mobi­lization, positioning, washing and help in swallowing.

        Die verborgenen Zeichen der Natur

        Was uns Himmel, Wetter, Wasser, Pflanzen und Tiere über unsere Welt verraten | Sachbilderbuch für Kinder ab 8 Jahren

        by Craig Caudill, Carrie Shryock, Stefanie Ochel, Steven Backshall

        Die Natur kann uns so viel erzählen – wenn wir nur lernen, genau hinzusehen. Eine Herde Schafe kann das Wetter vorhersagen, der Polarstern bietet auch in dunkler Nacht einen Orientierungspunkt und die Form der Dünen in der Wüste verrät, aus welcher Richtung der Wind weht. Dieses Buch zeigt, wie wir die Zeichen der Natur deuten können, und ist zugleich eine Reise durch die wunderbare Vielfalt der Landschaften unserer Erde: von der eisigen Arktis über die Alpen bis zu den tropischen Regenwäldern am Amazonas – und sogar direkt vor der eigenen Haustür gibt es vieles zu entdecken. Ein Buch für alle, die neugierig sind und die Geheimnisse von Landschaft und Lebewesen entschlüsseln wollen. Denn wer die Zeichen der Natur versteht, sieht die Welt mit anderen Augen.

        The Maieutic Model for Nursing and Treatment

        Presentation and Documentation

        by Cora van der Kooij

        In this successful introductory work, the author describes the principles, rationale, prospects for, and documentation of her maieutic method for nursing and care. The word “maieutics” is derived from the ancient Greek word for “midwife” and draws upon a method developed by Socrates. Through skillful questioning, it reveals the right answers and insights lying dormant in another person’s mind, although he or she was not conscious of them. Cora van der Kooij describes maieutics as midwifery for nursing professionalism.   Target Group: Practicing nurses, geriatric nurses, nursing educators

        Robust health care systems are paramount for the health, security, and prosperity of people and countries as a whole. This book provides for the first time a chronicle of the struggle for, and eventual success of, universal health coverage (UHC) in Tanzania. Beginning with an introduction to primary health care in the country, from its historical foundations to the major milestones of implementation, this book then considers stewardship of this important aspect of health systems over time. Written in a way to allow the application of lessons learned to other countries' contexts, this book covers: - Policy and governance issues such as leadership, human resources, and financing of health systems; - Practical aspects of health system delivery, including supply chains, community care, new technologies, and the integration of services for particular population groups; - The impact and mitigation of global events on health systems, such as resilience and preparedness in the light of disease outbreaks or climate change, and social, commercial, and political influences. Concluding with a look to the future, forecasting the changes and new solutions needed to adapt to a changing world, this book is a valuable reference for policy makers, global health practitioners, health system managers, researchers, students, and all those with an interest in primary health care and reforms - both in Tanzania and beyond.

        Begeisterung

        Die Energie der Kindheit wiederentdecken

        by André Stern

        Kinder sind von Natur aus neugierig, interessiert und voller Begeisterung. In vielen Teilen der heutigen Welt werden sie dennoch unter enormem Leistungsdruck erzogen. Dabei ist Kindheit die wertvollste Ressource eines Menschen, die es zu schützen gilt. Denn Begeisterung verleiht Flügel und macht regelrecht genial. Das wissen wir instinktiv, doch die Wissenschaft liefert uns inzwischen sogar Erklärungen darüber, was in uns genau passiert, wenn wir begeistert sind.

        Picassos Guernica

        by Max Imdahl, Pablo Picasso

Es entstand aus Protest gegen die faschistische Kriegsführung im Spanischen Bürgerkrieg, insbesondere gegen die Bombardierung der baskischen Stadt Guernica durch die »Legion Condor«, und ist bis heute im öffentlichen Bewußtsein der künstlerische Ausdruck des Protestes gegen den Krieg überhaupt.Max Imdahl beschreibt in diesem Band das Bild und seine Wirkung, sowohl in Hinblick auf das Dargestellte selbst als auch auf die besondere Darstellungsweise Picassos und seine unterschiedlichen stilistischen Phasen.

        Gesammelte Schriften in 19 Bänden

        Band 5: Was ist Soziologie?

        by Norbert Elias, Annette Treibel

        Der 1970 erstmals erschienene Band Was ist Soziologie? ist neben den Bänden zum Prozeß der Zivilisation der meistrezipierte Text von Norbert Elias. In ihm führt Elias in die grundlegenden Perspektiven und in entscheidende Etappen der Geschichte der Soziologie ein. Hier formuliert er zentrale Begriffe seiner Prozeßsoziologie wie »Figuration«, »Figurationswandel«, »Prozeßmodell« und »Spielmodelle« und erörtert die Aufgabe des Soziologen als eines »Mythenjägers«. Soziologie, so Elias, ermöglicht einen Zugang zur gesellschaftlichen Wirklichkeit, der distanzierter, weniger gefühlsbetont und den eigenen Zwängen weniger verhaftet ist, als dies beim »Alltagsmenschen « der Fall ist. Die Neuausgabe dieses klassischen Textes innerhalb der Edition der Gesammelten Schriften komplettiert den bekannten Text von 1970 um hier erstmals veröffentlichte Texte, die Bestandteil der ursprünglichen Fassung waren. Es handelt sich dabei um das Kapitel Über die Entdeckung des Gegenstandes der Soziologie und das Kapitel über Karl Marx. Die Spannung zwischen Ideologie und Wissenschaft, so zeigt Elias detailliert am Beispiel von Marx, ist nicht nur eine Sache der Rezipienten, sondern auch des Autors selbst. Um so wichtiger ist es, so Elias’ wissenschaftssoziologische Maxime, sich einem klassischen Autor weder rein systematisch noch rein historisch, sondern innerhalb eines Entwicklungsmodells zu nähern.
